Neigbbors saw the interior of the barn all ablazb and turned in the alarm, but by this time the fire had broken thru the roof and although Hose 2, the first company, arrived soon after, the barn was beyond saving and the first atream of water was played on tho roof of the reaidence. ' The department waa again favored in that there was no wind blowing at the time, although the second alarni was aent in as an extra precaution.
The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Ii!rown states there had been no one in the barn during the day.

AFTEK THE TOURNAMENT. The protest lodged by I'Jver Ready Hose Co., against the DeRaismes Hose Co. and the Pacifie Engine Co., cf Glen Cove, was a just one, but it is seldom a protest is allowed in one of these contests. The rulea say "each com¬ pany shall run 250 yards, lay luO feet of hose, break coupling, screw on noz¬ zle, connect to hydrant, and pat water on backstop, 176 feet from hydrant." Both of tbese companies laid 200 feet of hose which brought them 50 feet nearer the backstop than the Freeport companiea, which followed the rules strictly.
Freeport's mounted police escort, consisting of Captain Dunbar and OfTi¬ cers Cameron, Van Riper and Daren¬ berg, helped to carry out the favorable impression made all along the line.

I Tbere was a bad smaahup between I two aatomobiles at the Hicksville I Ruad crossing of the Long Island Rail¬ road shortly before ten o'clock last Saurday night. Two large touring I cars locked wheels while crossing the I traek and were so badly damaged that the wrecks could not be removed at once and it was necessary to flag the ten o'clock westbound train.
One of the cars was driven by George H. Levy, a Freeport lawyer. Robert Prahar, drove the other. His mother. Mra. L. B. Prahar, was the only other occupant. The Levy car i had several occupants and all handa were thrown out. No one was injured beyond severe bruises and a bad shak¬ ing up.
The Levy family spent tjie night at | Pennell's hotel and the next morning | the cars werg carted to Freeport for repairs. The damage to the two will' exceed ene chousand dollars. !

After seeing a number of the lire- men fail in the single ladder climbing contest, who had been practicing on a ladder with rungs 18 inchea apart, and were forced to compete on one with the rungs 12 inches apart, through the ab¬ sence of any uniform rules, it struck me it might be a very good idea if the Southern N. Y. Firemen's Aaan., the Nasaau County Assn., the Suffolk Countv A^sn., the Hudaorf Valley Assn., and any other associations in the State, might appoint committees to get. together and adopt uniform roles to govern ail contests throughout the State. Then and only then will you be able to claim State records. Of.coarse the department holding the afTair could not be forced to adhere to the rules, bat neither can you force an athletic association to adhere to the A. A. U. rules, but they all doit, and are better flatir<ried. For that matter, the association itself could adopt the rules, and the department would have to abide by tbem.

Along came another dog about one-third larger, a street mon¬ grel—who proceeded to make things interesting for the cute little house dog. The cute little bouse dog jerked the chain out of tbe hand of his mist¬ ress and selecting a nice soft mud pud¬ dle proceeded to do his best to make thinga interesting for the other canine. Along came -Mr. Butt-in, filled with compassion for the forlorn damsel, stepped off hia wheel into the puddle to extricate the under dog which was the one with the chain attached to ite neck. The bigger dog did not like interfer¬ ence and immediately ran oil. .Mr. Butt-in procee.ied on his way (to es¬ cape the thanka of tbe maiden in dis¬ tress) and this ia how we heard her thank him : "You ought to keep a such a dog aa that on a chain,"—and he had never seen the animal hefore.
